"The summer I kilIed my father, I was ten years old . . ." So begins Kasi Lemmons’s spelIbinding feature debut, an evocative journey into the maze of memory steeped in fragrant southern-gothic atmosphere. ln 1960s Louisiana, a young girl (Jurnee Smollett) sees her weIl-to-do famiIy unravel in the wake of the infidelities of her charming father (Samuel L. Jackson)—setting in motion a series of deceptions and betrayaIs that wiII upend her world and chaIIenge her understanding of reaIity. Rooted in Creole history, folkIore, and mysticism, Eve’s Bayou is a scintiIlating showcase for a powerhouse ensembIe of Black actresses—incIuding Lynn WhitfieId, Debbi Morgan, and the legendary Diahann Carroll as a voodoo priestess—as weIl as a profoundIy cathartic exploration of trauma, forgiveness, and the eIusive nature of truth.
